The Ritz-Carlton x Late Checkout: An Exclusive Clothing Collaboration Perfect For Jetsetters
What happens when two seemingly different worlds collide? Well, you get something like the new The Ritz-Carlton x Late Checkout capsule apparel collection—a perfect blend of timeless luxury and contemporary style. Something that’s cozy for a long plane ride or a upscale casual style for a drink in the hotel lobby bar.
The Ritz-Carlton, known for its iconic hospitality and classic elegance, has teamed up with Madrid-based fashion label Late Checkout to create an exclusive clothing line that is both comfortable and stylish, capturing the spirit of leisurely days and unforgettable nights.
“A fashion collection?” You might wonder. After all, The Ritz-Carlton is known for five-star hotel service, not clothing, right?
Well, imagine you’re lounging in one of their ultra-luxe suites, sipping a cocktail, watching the skyline disappear into the horizon at sunset, you would want something that feels as indulgent as the experience.
That’s what this collaboration is all about. The Ritz-Carlton x Late Checkout Collection—comprising cozy crewnecks, accessories, jackets and a sprinkle of that iconic Ritz-Carlton insignia—was designed to elevate the everyday. It’s about more than just clothes; it’s a vibe.

When Hospitality Meets Fashion
So how did this all come together? Turns out, it wasn’t a random pairing. Late Checkout, the fashion brainchild of creative director Alex Turrión, is a brand that’s built on the concept of storytelling through clothing. And, in a way, doesn’t every hotel tell a story?
From the guests who come and go to the staff who work behind the scenes, each visit each Ritz-Carlton property is like a mini-drama unfolding. That’s where this wonderful overlap happens. Late Checkout’s collections often draw from the cinematic world, creating characters that could exist within the walls of a fictional hotel.
In Turrión’s mind, The Ritz-Carlton wasn’t just a hotel; it was an experience to be translated into fabric, threads, and design.
The Capsule Collection: A Tribute to Leisure
The pieces in the collection are a direct reflection of the leisurely lifestyle The Ritz-Carlton represents. Think about the feeling of sinking into a plush bed after a long day of exploring a new city… or lounging poolside with a good book and no particular plans for the rest of the day.
From navy joggers that feel just as appropriate for a late-night stroll as they do for a lazy Sunday afternoon, to classic crewnecks bearing The Ritz-Carlton lion or flag insignia—each piece feels like an extension of the hotel’s iconic style.
And these clothes aren’t just about looking good. They’re designed with comfort in mind. Because let’s be honest, no one enjoys feeling uncomfortable while they’re on vacation. You want to feel like you can both relax and impress, all at the same time. And somehow, these clothes manage to do just that. I guess you could say they’ve nailed that “effortlessly chic” vibe… but maybe that’s just me overthinking it.
The Campaign: A Story of Magic and Mishaps
To celebrate the collection, The Ritz-Carlton and Late Checkout went all out, creating a full-blown campaign. And not just any campaign—a short film starring Josh Hutcherson.
Directed by Rogelio González, the film takes place at none other than The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong—a hotel that towers above the city, literally scraping the sky at more than 100 floors above Victoria Harbour.
Fashion That Tells a Story
And that’s where Late Checkout excels. The collection tells a story, not just through its designs, but through the entire campaign. It’s not about selling clothes—it’s about selling an experience.
How the Collection Reflects The Ritz-Carlton Experience
Every piece in the collection reflects that same level of care and attention to detail you’d expect from The Ritz-Carlton.
Whether it’s the perfect fit of the joggers or the subtle yet unmistakable insignia embroidered on a crewneck, everything about these pieces feels intentional.
Final Thoughts: The Ritz-Carlton x Late Checkout Collection
At the end of the day, this collaboration between The Ritz-Carlton and Late Checkout is more than just a fashion line—it’s a marriage of two worlds that share the same philosophy: making the everyday extraordinary. Whether you’re lounging around or heading out for a late-night adventure, this capsule collection brings that same feeling of luxury, comfort, and effortless style that The Ritz-Carlton is known for.
After scrolling through the collection myself, the clothes seem to cut in a modern yet retro way. More a tighter fit with waist cuts instead of something that would fall naturally like a typical crew neck sweater. Almost a 1970s style to them. So if you find you reach for clothing that’s more of a relaxed fit, this may not be your favourite piece of clothing. Then I would opt for a hat, accessory, or something like the joggers with the sweater to complete an outfit. Alternatively, the coats do look quick good as well.
